Looks like a decent deal depending on mileage and condition.
Saturns tend to use oil (no puddles or smoke, but will go through a quart every 3000-4000 miles) but are otherwise durable little cars. Just keep the oil topped off or you will be buying a new engine.
Not much info in the ad, but the aluminum wheels and spoiler lead me to believe it's an SL2 instead of an SL1. (Also may have painted mirrors and door handles, it's hard to tell in the pics). The SL2 has more power and dual overhead cams, but is less efficient.
.gov says you should get 23/33 mpg.. An SL1 would be 24/36 mpg.
